Accolade and Review for my poem,  Soar Into Change

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Well said, Malak! We must be adaptable on our journeys of self-discovery; we must accept and expect that much is unknown. Your philosophical analysis of the parts of or requirements for being brave and self-aware is excellent synecdoche. Your stanzas are so well developed and balanced, your rhymes are powerful. Great poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Soar into Change

Any journey where all is known
Is too predictable,  boring even,
While the bends, ups, and down
Aren’t fixed, they do stay hidden

The beauty of self awareness
Is in being flexible, adaptable
To changes that can repress
The ability to move forward, that’s indomitable.

Catch the fire of self-discovery
That soars above your comfort
Zone, where all is set, scheduled, an armory
Of built masks that dissuade building a port

Where support and change
Are an integral part of being brave
Enough to be aware that a stagnant age
Is a slow death of imagination as a bondslave.

Triple Gold Certificate for my poem,  Silver Etchings

Thank you for the honor and your hard work

Silver Etchings

Her yawn’s white and silver etchings
Swirls of eternal change castings
That bring out beauty’s blessings,

She stands, elegantly in a white dress
Flowing in the breeze that frees
Her imagination to never be less.

Her regal canoe flies through
The clouds taking her to
Endless adventures she never knew

Existed till she let go of fear
That kept her imprisoned in a sphere
Of schedules of repetition in a gear

That keeps speeding into stress
That’ll always press
If not dismantled for pressure is less

Imposing when you escape,
Like her, into the clouds of a dreamscape
That rejuvenates the soul’s need to scrape

Away the desolation of repetition
Garner some courage for expansion
Of a limited world to knowledge of expression.

Soar into beauty, peace
That never recede, but grace
Your mind in the simplicity of a slower pace.

Platinum Award for my collaboration poem with Dr. Laxman Sahoo, Wander At Night

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Wander at Night

A night
When the moon is shining bright
Lights up the darkened road as he
Walks alone, with his cane

Illuminating his path at night
As the forests and mountains fight
To cover the dirt road combating
For supremacy, as he walks by, thinking…

As the beautifully quiet night
Envelops his being, his Wandering flight
Into the unknown natural dangers,
Not forgetting the man made ones

Even scarier in such a darkened night,
When owls and predators alight
In a feat to survive and reign supreme
In a world of beauty, and night
When evil rules minds and dives into sin.
©️ Malak kalmoni chehab ©️

As he wander and cannot sleep with eyes closed.
He walks barefoot, with his feet on the dewcovered
Grass, the shepherd boy, with a plough and cloth protecting his shoulders,
He walks to the field before sunrise.
He has to walk miles down the hill,
With clothes in colorful bursts
As winter comes for the Babus!
The laborers, the poor are always poor.
They have to endure hardships with masked smile.

Open your eyes, oh ye rich people
The poor around you are helpless.
Those in your service are suffering on cold nights.
They are suffering in sleepless pains.
They walk with hungry eyes before sunrise.
Ones go to golden fields to worship Maa Lakshmi.
Unselfishly holding ond to faith as savior..!!!

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Love’s Poetry

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Love’s Poetry

As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss

That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin

Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws

Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook

Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Accolade for my poem, Feather’s Journey

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Feather’s Journey

Spring sprang in spite of the spell
Of frozen winter thawed with a bell
Of flowing flowers whose colors
Display their beauty while nature’s gay borders

Spin into a jeté budding into flowers,
Multitude of shapes, sizes, colors,
Overflowing between leaves leave
The shade above, around flowers to weave

A tapestry of beauty that’ll cleave
Your heart if Marred to be taken apart. Heave
A sigh of relief when gazing on nature’s
Industrious workers, as bird feathers

Highting each spring color to guide
Your attention to protection against the waved
Encroachment of population on rich soil
That’ll never be a foil

For contemplation of the feather
Garnering it power of flight tower
Over the leaves adorning them in beauty
And freedom to see the world fully

Aware that the feather has traveled
On the wind, free, soft, colored
Varied species, nubile in its aerodynamic
Ability to reach the unreachable, as it’s bucolic.

Double Gold certificate

The Imaginary Train

The antique train whose trim
Of burnished wood shone against
The moonlight perpetrating its glam
Exterior with inner luxury at the behest
Of imagination that couldn’t rest.

The marvels of crystal chandeliers
Hanging over dining areas stupefy
The onlooker with wealth that prospers
Through diamond necklaces dangling in hefty
Abundance with gold on skin that’s shiny.

My eyes stray to windows whose glare
Of the lover’s moon is framed
In a beauteous flame that’ll revere
The scene unfolding in a dreamed
Opulent night littered with star-studded

Light of glittery jewels that put
Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, to shame
As the light blinds your eyes and cut
The veil of imagination by rendering it lame
In the presence of nature’s magic, that’s aflame.

Let the train take you on its journey,
The journey of life that twists, turns,
Dips, and rises to all occasions with a flurry
Of activity that glories fighting pains,
Overcoming obstacles as small as grains.
